Pentair | Oring PKGS 184/184C | 35505-0421
The Pentair 35505-0421 O-Ring C/CC/D Series Pkg 184/184C Trap Lid is an essential part of the longevity of your pool equipment.
An O-ring, in simple terms, is a gasket in the shape of a ring designed to create a tight seal between two joining parts. In this case, the Pentair 35505-0421 ensures a secure seal on the trap lid of specific Pentair pool pump models.
Functionally, this O-ring prevents leaks, safeguarding the pump motor from water damage. Over time, O-rings can degrade due to constant water exposure, temperature fluctuations, and chemical reactions. Hence, a Pentair R-ring replacement is recommended when signs of wear or leakage are detected.
Installation requires some knowledge of your pump system. Generally, the pump should be turned off and drained. The trap lid is then removed by loosening the knobs or screws holding it. After replacing the old O-ring with the new Pentair 35505-0421, it's essential to lubricate it with a pool-specific lubricant before reassembling it.
Regular maintenance, such as periodic lubrication and inspection for wear, will extend its lifespan. Remember, a properly functioning O-ring is critical for optimal pool pump performance. Despite its small size, this component greatly affects your pool's overall health.
